Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of 0.02Pb(Y2/3W1/3)O3 0.98Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics doped with additives (Nb2O5, La2O3, MnO2, and Fe2O3) were investigated. The grain sizes of these ceramics decreased with increasing amounts of additives. For additions of MnO2 and Fe2O3, dielectric losses decreased, while for Nb2O5 and La2O3, these values increased. The maximum values of the mechanical quality factor Qm were found to be 956 and 975 for additions of 0.9 wt% Fe2O3 and 0.7 wt% MnO2, respectively, but donor dopants (Nb2O5 and La2O3) did not change the values of Qm. On the other hand, the piezoelectric constant d33 and the electromechanical coupling factor kp decreased with additions of MnO2 and Fe2O3, but improved with additions of Nb2O5 and La2O3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
